What sort of club are we?Clubs vary, just as people vary, so it's worth an attempt to give a feel of what we're about. We're a friendly and informal group of people with a common interest in diving. We take safety to be the highest priority, and all diving activity is closely controlled in accordance with BSAC guidelines. We dive mostly at weekends, with quite a few longer trips, especially over Bank Holidays. Travel times make the South Coast easiest to get to, but we also travel as far as Cornwall, Scotland and abroad. We dive for fun. We're not a specialist Club, so if Trimix or rebreathers are your thing, we'll do our best to point you on to another club in the region which might suit you better. Having said that, quite a few of our members are trained in Nitrox and other specialisms, and while we have plenty of members who are content just to go and meet a few fish, there are plenty of others who will plan and undertake more challenging dives. We have a significant number of members holding the BSAC Advanced Diver qualification (likely to involve hundreds rather than dozens of dives) and several BSAC Advanced Instructors. Several members have an interest in underwater photography. We welcome visitors, including members of other clubs and organisations. We have always welcomed beginners - continuous gradual training from beginner to expert is an essential part of our "culture". |
